I'm getting that good feeling about this one. I'm thinking our emotion meter will be off the scale tonight, but the key is Norrena. Two soft goals (we can overcome one) and we lose regardless of how hard we play, Fred must be good tonight for any chance of winning.
I do not think we have ever had a game this important this late in the season. We have outlasted Toronto, mecca of hockey. We are still above .500 with 5 games to go. We knock off the team to the south and set up next year. This team has made strides but we need to punch "Butch" right in the nose. GO REBELS!!!, I mean GO JACKETS!!!!!!!!
We play hard and with pride and I retire the Kitty.

I do not whetehr it will be right roster. I think that first third lines will be:
Nash - Malhotra - Žerdev
Chimera - Peca - Brulé
Murray - Novotný - Výborný
Tonight I am taking my girlfriend to her first hockey game, and she is pumped. All I can say is that it has never been so important that the Jackets at least score. I am hoping for 5 goals and lot's of cannon fire!
